answer text <p>DWP takes many steps to protect the personal and sensitive information that citizens provide to us, and will apply additional protections to records that, for a variety of reasons, may require it. DWP does not routinely maintain specific counts of these cases and the numbers can fluctuate. However, it is possible to state that in June 2015 DWP applied such controls to approximately 8,000 records relating to individuals at the various stages of gender transition.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government considers that it is important that the interests of energy consumers are represented on the SEC Panel. The current arrangements were consulted on in the Government’s Smart Energy Code Consultation in April 2012, and were concluded in the Government Responses in November 2012 and April 2013. The Government concluded that Consumer Futures, as the exclusive statutory consumer body in the energy sector, was best placed to nominate consumer representatives for the Panel. These statutory responsibilities were transferred to Citizens Advice and Citizens Advice Scotland when Consumer Futures was abolished in 2014.</p> more like this

answer text <p>This is still a matter for negotiation. The European Commission has proposed bringing forward a legislative proposal to reverse the Metock judgment and prevent non-EU nationals from acquiring free movement rights simply by marrying an EU national. Instead, they will be subject to the domestic immigration controls of the first Member State they enter. In the UK, this means that they will need to meet language and income requirements.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Between 1999 and 2005, several measures harmonising common minimum standards for asylum were adopted. The six measures were the Dublin II Regulation, the EURODAC Regulation, the Temporary Protection Directive, the Reception Conditions Directive, the Qualification Directive and the Asylum Procedures Directive. The UK opted into all of these Directives.</p><p>The Reception Conditions Directive, the Qualifications Directive and the Asylum Procedures Directives were later revised but the UK did not opt into the revised versions and remains bound by the original Directives.</p><p>The Dublin II Regulation and EURODAC Regulation were also revised and the UK opted into the revised versions.</p><p>The Temporary Protection Directive has not been revised and the UK remains bound by the original Directive.</p> more like this
